------------------------------

Quite a big drop off this week as expected after the stomp monster event, big thank you to SiriusB for organising that and we raised £216.14!

Still we managed another team stomp, whoopass failed to live up to their name and we flew past them.

Lots of new members this week so welcome to all and if you need a hand with anything just give us a shout

I'm still waiting for the SB motherboard I'm after to be in stock, also decided to treat myself to a new case which is out of stock as well .
Must have patience! My memory has arrived in one piece though

Pat on the back all round

Has anyone ever used passive watercooling for a folding rig? I'm considering one of those cape cora radiators.

 

[dekez]

Yes, sorry! at the moment a Q6600 and a 260, possibly later an i7 doing big adv (no gpu).

They are currently cooled by a single RS240 squeezed in the front of a antec 902, but it is quite loud and I have loads of space under my desk were I could mount something bigger external.

edit: They don't seem that expensive compared to the bigger standard radiators, I've seen the Cape Cora HF 642 for £63.52 which seems quite resonable (unless you need like 2 or 3 of them to cool a folding rig)

 

[dekez]

Thanks Sir-Les, that is an option, I'm not sure if that with 4 fans attached would be any quieter than my current set up though.

 

[dekez]

Are the 460 and E8200 folding as well? That is quite impressive, I didn't realise rads could be used without fans. I guess I could give it a try and add fans if it couldn't handle it. There is space at the end of the desk where it would fit and have good airflow.

The desk is about 80cm high though and the pump would be on the floor (18W Laing DDC) would it be able to pump up to the radiator?

 

[dekez]

The pump is on the floor of the case which is on the floor, but good point, there is no reason I couldn't mount it higher externally.

What are radient panels? Are they those the skirting board heating systems? I'm not sure I have the skills or time for that level of project but thanks

SR1 or PA look like the best options then.
